This is something different: it's not plastic. Trawling around on the web
recently I found that there are several paper/card model templates available for free download. This particular one came from the
Canon photocopier website. It has other interesting stuff like a Macchi Schneider Trophy
seaplane and quite a few airliners (as well as non-flying items).

With its ribs and bulkheads construction, it's more like a balsa and tissue
model construction - a bit of a contrast to plastic kits. I didn't take it too seriously. Printing the design out on normal copying paper was a mistake
though - you really do need something a bit thicker. Still, it was a good therapeutic exercise.
